NITED STATES FREDERICK BEIERMEISTER, JR., OF TROY, NEW YORK.

COLLAR-- SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,353, dated June 13, 1882.

Application filed April 1882.

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, FREDERICK BEIERMEIS- TEE, Jr of the city of Troy, county of Reusselaer, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Collars, which improvement is fully set forth in the fol- .lowing specification and accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a finished collar. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of one end of the collar with the end of the outer part unstitched and rolled back from the end of the inner part. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the same end shown in Fig. 2 stitched and finished, but having the lower side of the outer part bent out and up, exposing to View the lower side of the inner part.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

My invention consists of a collar which combines in itself the appearance and the advantages of both standing and turn-down collars.

In the drawings, A represents the top or outer and exposed part or ply of the collar, and B the bottom or inner part or ply with the projecting end 0, by which the collar is fastened to the shirt and held in position. The two parts are shaped to project upward above the end 0, as from D to E. The outer part is shaped to match, and is stitched to the inner part along the entire length of their upper edges and across their ends from E to D.

der and will be held in place thereby, securing all the advantages of a turn-down collar.

At the same time the upper portion or projec- .tion, D E,may be ofany shape or styledesired in a standing collar, and worn and operated in the same manner and with all the benefits of standing collars. There may he one or more rows of stitching along the edges of the collar. (Shown bydots G.) ThepartsAandB may each consist of one or more plies of differing material.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A collar made of two or more parts or plies fastened together, and shaped to match along their upper edges and part way only across their ends, substantially as herein described, and for the purposes referred to.
